This issue is with the protracted time it now takes, slow and jittery to move even a few seconds (clearly seen in the video clip) along the waveform in comparison to the smooth slick scrolling I could achieve in High Sierra with the previous version of Audacity. That said, if you're an experienced hand at macOS and want to try the Terminal trick (keeping in mind it reportedly does not work for everyone), or if you're willing to try out possibly unstable pre-release software, then here are links to the Audacity pages that reference those options (again, I'M NOT RECOMMENDING EITHER of these!).I’m dragging it outside the window in order to move the cursor to where i want to edit, i.e the portion of edit ends further along the wavelength hence dragging outside the window to select the area I want. I DO NOT RECOMMEND either of these two optionsâ€”I'm just letting you know that they exist. Re the last two optionsâ€”be VERY cautious with Terminal workarounds, and be even more cautious with alpha (early pre-release) software, which is liable to be very unstable on your system. (though it's not clear if that's in place yet) Try Audacity 2.4 Alpha, a pre-release version that is supposed to include Catalina compatibility Try the Terminal workaround described on the Audacity Forum If possible, create a partition and install Mojave on it so you can open Audacity

wav files, that may be worth a try before anything else (unless you've already tried it and it didn't work). First off, in the discussion of a Terminal workaround (see below) they seem to imply that Audacity should open and run under Catalina, but you won't be able to record into itâ€”if all you need to do is open it and bounce down tracks to. That leaves you with a short list of options. Unfortunately as far as I know the only way to pull standard (.wav) files out of an Audacity project is to bounce them down in Audacityâ€”there's apparently no way to put them together from the.
